Piratical Management (Pirarticles)

I’ve spent very little time on writing articles directly related to my nom-de-plume.

There are 3 main reasons behind this.

Most* of my “Bad Captain” thinking is fuelled by negative workplace, management and team experiences and I’ve not had any for a long time.

I have a backlog of 70+ more valuable articles and ideas already without adding pirate concepts into the mix.

There are plenty of articles already discussing pirates and management on the web, why re-invent the wheel!

*The rest is probably fuelled by cider, rum and late-night ramblings with close friends – think “Father Jack with earrings”

So as I make final preparations for a dawn raid at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City and a week at Agile 2011 I’ve been digging out some reading material…

Here’s a quick pick-through of piratical management articles (“pirarticles”) I’ve found on the web so far plus a couple of potential reads to add to my “booklog” (thanks @MarkDalgarno for that very sticky term last week).

Articles

Some short articles for when my cognitive load means I don’t have space for anything more plus one or 2 that are more formal.
